1810 8-reales (imaginary bust) coin knife
Handmade from a genuine antique silver Ocho-Reales Spanish colonial coin minted in Lima in 1810. Features a likeness of Ferdinand VII. What's fascinating is the portrait of Ferdinand on the coin. Typically when a new Spanish king came to the throne, portraits were painted and sent out to the mints so that new dies could be cut with the correct likeness. However, Ferdinand VII's ascent to the throne in 1808, was disputed, and so the new portraits were delayed. Instead of waiting, the mint in Peru carved an "imagined" portrait. It's thought that a Peruvian Indian posed for the portrait!
